MIS-. MARY L. FelIOn, I1IOonS SlStef-Sn8m0-
full Neglect by Her Brothers. Executors.
NEW YORK, March 12,-An evening newspa-
per has the following:
Mrs Mary P FELTON, sister of ex Governor Tilden
died this morning at $50 o'clock, at her home No.
33 West Thrty-eighth street, of pneumonia. Mrs.
Pelton was seventy eight years of and has been
enjoying fairly good health until within the last ten
days None of the money or other property left her
by her brother the late Governor Tilden, had been
received up to the time of her death A special re-
quest the executors to hurry the execution of the
trust SO that she might enjoy it during her lifetime
was made some time ago and met with response
Mr.. A. II. Green called upon Mrs. Pelton a short
time ago and offered to loan her money to meet
any pressing necessities but Mrs Pelton replied that
she did not care to borrow any money. but would
like to have what her brother had left to her. Mr..
Samuel j. Tilden, jr.. called upon the executors
short time and urged them to the trusts
of his aunt Mary, aunt Lucy and his mother. all of
whom were old and somewhat feeble, in order that
they might enjoy their brothers bequest during their
lifetime. He said, Never mind the younger folks; we
shift four ourselves The old ladies were very
much disappointed to think they have been treated
shabbily by the executors The death of Mrs Pelton
may possibly bring them to their The friends
of the family say the heirs have been treated by the
executors more mendcants than sisters, nieces
and relatives of the dead statesman and millionaire "

PREPARING FOR AN ATTACK.

Gladstone and the Parnellites Making Ready
for an Assault on Salisbury.
EpeciaI to the Indianapolis Journal.
LONDON, March IA sudden development Of
activity may be expected during the coming
week the front opposition bench. Mr.. Glad
stone is at present singularly rich in mental and
physical vitality, and he has no intention of sit
ting still in the unobtrusive part of passive on
locker. In Sir William Harcourt and Mr.. John
Morley Mr. Gladstone finds valiant lieu
tenants, quite as anxious as he to
be up and doing. The question of
procedure of another kind engages their
attention. and from mysterious hints dropped by
one responsible person and another. it is evident
thata vigorous attack upon the government is
in contemplation, if it be not exactly imminent.
Mr. Gladstone favors a rousng onslaught by
means of the weapon afforded in the growth OF
national expenditures. An alternative weapon
lies in the foreign policy of the government It
is not settled with which of these questions the
attack will be made. 1t is fairly
certain, however. that the cause OF
of attack that field not affordine sufficient temp
tation to Liberals of all shades of opinion to vote
against the Ministers. But, in any event, it is
authoritatively stated that during the next week
She first movement will be made against the gov
5rnment, its precise form being, at this moment,
under consideration.
The peers also are pining for excitement
They are at present in their semi normal posi-.
lion, that of the great unemployed The idea Of
attacking Ministers to pass away time has not,
OF course, entered the heads of Lord Granville
and his colleagues 1t would be a very futile
IDEA. as experience has more than once proved.
Even the Duke of Argyll, who formerly always
had motion of mo confidence in his waist
coat pocket, has changed places with his polit-
. cal conscience, and now defends what he was
won't to denounce. But the peers, as
whole, are not happy. They would
welcome breeze, come whence it may They
pant for exhilarating influences instead Of com
ing down to St Stephens every afternoon only to
sit for a minute two and then 60 home
again.
Mr. Lahouchere looks on this state of things
and rubs his hands smilingly. He sees in it one
argument against the hereditary prnciple-in
deed against the second chamber altogether. Il
scostly and is it's own plea for abolition. 81
argues Mr. Labouchere.

BEECHER's WASHINGTON VISITS.

His Influence with the President-His Jovial
Manner at the Dinner-T Table
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. March 12--There are people in
Washington who believe that the worry the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher had over the confirmation
OF his sons appointment to a customs collector
ship in Washington Territory contributed some
thing to his demise. Captain Beecher's nomina-
ton, it will be remembered, hung fire in the
Senate for many months There were charges
against his financial dealings when he command
ed steamboat on the Sound in the Pacific coun-
try, and once or twice the young mans father
paid visits to this city, for the purpose, it was
reported at the time, of clearing away the charges
or inducing the President to stand by the noml-
nation, which he did, in spite Of the determine
ton of the Senate to reject the nomination The
young man is still in the employ of the govern
ment, so the influence of the dead preacher'must
have been potent.
There is no doubt that President Cleveland
held Mr. Beecher in very high esteem. This
was so notorious it will be remembered, that,
during the early part Of the present administra-
ton. there was some talk about the ivine going
to England as minister to the Court of ST..
James. But Mr. Beecher had no taste or am.
| him. But that he welded powerful influence
| in the last campaign for Mr.. Cleveland there can
| be no doubt. He not only spoke for the Demo-
cratic nominee, but he did personal work for the
same cause. He felt keen interest in seeing
Mr.. Blaine defeated, because he did not like him
in any capacity, and when once his ardor was
enlisted in any cause it grew till it was uncon-
/ trolabe.
/ A number Of times during the past six years
Mr.. Beecher has visited this city. Usually he
came in the capacity of lecturer. and occupied
the pulpit at the First Congregational Church.

minutes elapsed there would not be a vacan,

Instantly upon his seating himself there
would be q movement about the dining room.

THE PEACE OF EUROPE.

A Temporary Lull in War Talk-A Situation
that Is Fraught with Danger.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LONDON, March II 1t is in no way surpris-
ing that the decided majority in the Rechstag
in favor OF the septenate produced an immediate
feeling of relief in the financial and commercial
world, and was followed by an advance in prices
on the Stock Exchange But neither should it
oe wondered at if this feeling is not sustained
during the coming week. Germany has been
convinced by Prince Bismarck that it is neces
sary to stand on guard against France, and
the resolution to add to the military
strength of the fatherland has been de-
lberately and solemnly taken. But it is
doubtful whether the passage of the army bill
by so large majority will make the French one
whit less DESTROYS of winning back the lost prov
.nces, especially as the recent elections in Alsace
and Lorraine have confirmed the pre- existing be-
lief that the people are still French at heart.
The fear that Bismarck would hasten a war with
France has been removed by the overwhelming
majority in the Reichstag, yesterday, for the
septenate but if war should break ou,
in the East, and Russia and Austria
should become involved in hostiiites, there is a
great probability that the latent luminosity be
tween France and Germany would burst through
all control. In such An event the central Euro
pean powers would have to bear the shock oil

NEW YORK. March 12-The death bed OF
George Garrett Sickes, father of General Sickles,

spirit forms. The aged millionaire had for near

actions were often guided by what he believed
to be their commands. His very vigorous mind
and body made him an aggressive man, and he
therefore made no secret of his experiences.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-John B. Luce, of Arkan-

to-day, of general debility and exhaustion supposed
to have resulted from his long struggle in advocacy of
the celebrated Choctaw claim. He had been heavily
interested in this claim since 1852 and consumed all
of his private fortune in its prosecution. Some
months ago the Supreme Court rendered Judgment
in favor of the claimants. but the last Congress
